DIY Floral Print Skirt

I saw a floral print skirt on Hollister's website a little while back and I thought it was really cute. The only problem is that the skirt was sooo SHORT! So I decided to make one similar to it but more modest and here is the tutorial!

This is the pattern I Used (one of my favorite skirt patterns)

The part circled in blue is the only part I used of the pattern. The bubble thing at the bottom is atrocious so I "x"ed it out. The green waist band, I cut out on my own.

Cut your pieces out

this is the front, A big trapizoid

This is the two back pieces, they are the same as the front piece but its split up the middle and has an extra a seam allowance for the zipper

The waist band is my waist plus 3 inches and the width is 3 inches

Sew the 3 skirt pieces together but don't sew the two back pieces to each other yet

For the waist band iron it in half and then iron the side a centimeter up

You just made my day! I didn't think anybody even looked at my blog! I am so happy you liked the tutorial! I totally checked your site out and I love it! There are so many awesome ideas all compiled into one place! The only tip I would have for you is to just keep posting! The hardest part is to actually put your ideas out there!
